This is completely unknown at this point and is the sum of you projecting.
He may be mediocre at best. He may end up being worse than mediocre. He could continue to develop and become a really good QB for the next 10 plus years.
At this point, we don't know with any certainty what he will become. Thats why, speaking for myself only, I would have liked to have drafted him. He has a skillset that I think would have been really great for Andy Reid and company to continue to develop.
Alex Smith, right now, after how ever many eyars in the league, is the definition of mediocre (whether some want to see it or not, thats on them I guess). He's an average NFL QB. At best.
Considering it's been about 10 years since the CHiefs have had that under center, I understand why some Chiefs fans are ok with that. Hell, I was happy with last year and thought he was an ascending player or could still improve. We know he can play at a high enough level, but until he puts together a long span at that, I'm going to consider him to be what he has been over the last 3 plus years. An average, smart QB who wont beat you, but probably isn't good enough to compete at the highest level without having a mountain of talent around him. But, they've stabilized the QB position, which if I were guessing, was something they were told to do by management, seeing as both the HC and GM have a past history or doing it the right way.
Basically, for me, I'll take the 2nd year QB who has the upside to become (insert whatever here) over the 10th year vet who we are still hoping can improve into something he hasnt been over his career.
